Memorial Day Weekend, May 22–25, SF's free outdoor Comedy Festival runs four days across the city — no ticket, no cover, bring your own chair situation. Separate from that, Golden Gate Comedy Night runs as an ongoing intimate club format, Crazy Funny Asians is a free showcase spotlighting Asian American comics, and Puff Puff Laugh operates out of Moe Greens, SF's licensed cannabis lounge on Polk Street, where the cover gets you into a comedy show inside a consumption space — 21+ strictly enforced, cash at the door.

The Memorial Day festival is the headliner here: four nights of stand-up without buying anything is unusual for SF, where even the "free" shows typically push a two-drink minimum. Crazy Funny Asians has been building its lineup quietly — the showcase format means you get six to eight comics in 90 minutes, which is either a lot or exactly right depending on your tolerance for sets that are still finding their shape. Puff Puff Laugh is the oddball: the room is small, the crowd is already relaxed, and the comics know it.

Practical notes: Moe Greens is on Polk near Civic Center — take BART to Civic Center and walk north, don't bother with the Van Ness garage. For the festival, check the SFFuncheap listing for venue-by-venue locations before you go; the stages move each night.

With two hours: hit the free festival on Saturday, find the 7pm set, and walk to dinner from wherever it lands.
